ever been hit by any other fighter
in the world. That goes for Demp

"Carpentier Is a young fellow. Ha
can't be more than 25 or 26. Demp

him that he has done the best h
could with a lot of poor material. But
going right down the line, who of
any importance has Dempsey ever
beaten? Jess Willard! Why, they
needed a derrick to get him in the
ring at Toledo. And even at his best
he was no fighter. T know. I fought
him. Those other fellowa Dempsey
beat. wh were they? Why, I could
check my crutches at the box office
and beat most of them myself. There
wasn't - a single rugged, healthy,
fighting youngster in the lot.
Carpeatler Darks Low.
"Dempsey has never met a fighter
quite like this Carpentier," continued
the Gunboat. "He is active on his
feet, jumps around like a cat, and has
the most peculiar style of ducking
I have ever seen. He almost drags
his face on the canvas, he ducks so
low. That Is how I happened to lose
on the foul to nim when we fought
in 1914. He had been pulling that
duck on me so much I decided that
I would just about beat him one when
he bent over next time. I hit him
one, not a very hard punch. I think,
and he went down. I thought It was
one more of those ducks, so I lashed
out at bim. I did not hit him,-mind
you. The pictures show I missed him
by a foot. But Deschamps, his man
ager, jumped into the ring, claimed
his man was down when I hit at him,
and I was ruled off for foul.
"Billy Miske, the St. Paul heavy
weight, always keeps about even with
Dempsey when they box. Carpentier
would knock Miske out. 1 tell you

Sport Kxpeoted to Attain Pre-War
Standard This Year.
Will tennis be back this year to its
old place on the cport calendar that
it held before the war? That is the
question that authorities all over the
United States are asking and while
no definite answer lias been for
warded the consensus of opinion
seems to be that It will come back.
Julian S. Merrick vice-president of
United States Lawn Tennis associa
tion, in a written statement in the
east, points out as his reason for be
lieving that the game will come back.
that practically all the former cham
pions, that Is men who have held
singles and doubles titles before the
war, are back in the game and pretty
nearly every high school, grammar
school and college in America is now
promoting the sport on a large scale.
Throughout the east tremendous in
terest has been taken in the net sport
and programs lasting several weeks
longer than those arranged during the
war have been mapped out by the
various schools, colleges and clubs.
Seldom is a team hit as hard in
one spot as has been the Vernon
team. The release of Zinn Beck to
manage the Columbia team in the
south Atlantic, following the loss of
Meusel, means that Essick has a big
hole to plug at tMrd. The loss of
Beck is to be regretted. Zinn had an
arm which looked like the best in the
business until seen alongside Meu
sel's. And everything indicated that
he would have a good year with the
bat, as he is normally a strong hitter.
But the club could hardly stand in
the way of this opportunity to ad
vance. There is little doubt that the
Tigers will be well fortified in that
position. Essick is something of
shark at selecting third Backers. 1 pjrj jj RDS03l
